Forests of Porto Rico: Past, Present, and Future, and Their Physical and Economic Environment (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from Forests of Porto Rico: Past, Present, and Future, and Their Physical and Economic Environment
By far the greater part of this land lies in the mountains. Except for a few of the more accessible tracts, comparatively little is known about its present condition, or even its location, since in only one or two instances has any survey or detailed examination been made. General information gathered in the vicinity of some of the larger tracts indicates that only a very small amount of this land supports a productive forest, except a tract in the Sierra de Luquillo. The greater part is at present an idle, unproductive, grass or brush covered waste. In some few instances it is so situated as to be suitable for coffee culture, but in the aggregate it is of slight agricultural value, though it has a large potential value as forest land.
